This two-day workshop takes us from digital sketching to finished painting.

We will look at how to get the best from iPad sketching, how we can manipulate our sketches digitally to make them say more about our experience of place, and then how we make the virtual digital sketches into real world paintings.

Covers an introduction to ProCreate on an iPad Pro with an Apple pencil; playing with the sketches; colour choices and limited palettes; and working from sketches to create a finished painting.

Please note it is essential that you have ProCreate preferable on an iPad but at least on an iPhone
